Cheap Rhinestone shoes

By: Jess



I walked into Pom tryouts. The place was a shoe-box! I kept on walking down the narrow hallway full of paintings and wooden shelves. It smelt like lavender and vanilla. I kept walking into a medium size room that was fuchsia and flower trimmed. That smelt like berries and old coffee. I kept walking and there I saw them. Three girls with blonde hair and small blue bows at the top of each of there pigtails. Three girls, three different shades of blonde, six rhinestone shoes and six bows. I put down my "Pom" shoes and compared to theirs they looked like antiques (not in a good way). Why didn't just someone stick the word "Jealous" on my forehead? I saw an opportunity and I took it. I went over and said "Hi my names Jess and I just love your-"
"Stop!" The first girl interrupted and by her name tag her name was Kelsey Rice.
"I really don't care now move along."
I froze, my hands clenched so hard they turned pink and then white.
"I'm sorry are you too poor to hear me?"
"No I'm no different then you , and your cheap rhinestone shoes!"
Walking away with my chin held high I fell with a thud. Squeezing my eyes so tightly my tears fell down like asteroids. It was Kelsey and her stupid rhinestone shoes that made me fall like a domino just one of the rest not noticed but still falling. I looked up and the two other girls Elise and Tiff reached out their hands like they were throwing me a line as I was drowning in the ocean, with their braces out in the open and there mouths in the shape of a half of a moon. Kelsey mouth shaped as big as a watermelon, stared as her friends and I walked away. I was determined to show her that a "poor" girl can do Pom's just as good as her cheap rhinestone shoes.
